I should know, as I kinda live here. Bernie winning his neighboring, mostly-white state is not a bell-ringer.

As the nation is quickly diversifying, Clinton making inroads with persons of color while still retaining the white vote is what is propelling her success.

As for turnout, that is why The Bern is doing so poorly in places, as the vaunted youth vote fails to show.
